You had to be there
by sparklingmagic on Feb 28, 2021 20:02:03
"You had to be there" is a phrase that one often uses when someone asks about a situation/joke/piece of time.
Basically, it means that
it's hard to actually explain what that situation
was like and that the person who is asking had to be a part of the situation to understand.
TLDR; You should have been there
Example:
For example, when perhaps two of your friends have
an inside joke without you, and you're curious as to what that
inside joke means, and they tell you, "You had to be there" (meaning, you had to be around them at the time when the inside joke took place to truly understand it).

you had one job

Response to failing to do the one and only thing you had to do. This is told, either in a disgusted, mocking, or angry tone to people, animals, inanimate objects, and anything else
that fails to complete the simple task for which it was designed.
A way to express total fail,
epic fail, especially when the
one job was very simple.
Example:
To a cheap park bench that broke while I was sitting on it, "
You had one job, park bench!"
To
an accountant who was fired for inaccurate computing of business records. "You are supposed to be an accountant, right? You had one job, Sandy."
To a friend about my broken down car, "Damnit, it had
one job!"

What you say when someone tells you something he thinks is hilarious but really isn't. You say this to avoid
hurting your
friend's feelings in
breaking it to him that his joke sucks.
Example:
Dudeman 1: "Oh man, I was
playing horseshoes in
Red Dead Redemption and I got a really close throw and John was all like, 'Did you see that!' It was so funny dude!"
Dudeman 2: "I guess you had to be there."
Dudeman 1: :(
